Week 1
On day 1, April 21st, the HouseGuests entered the House. Anton, Antony, Jake and Josh were the first to enter at 14.00 and were followed an hour later by Euan, Francisco, Stewen, Adrian and Ash. At 16.00, Hugo, Arnold, Apo and Alex entered the House, completing the cast.

Upon entrance, all HouseGuests were instructed to pick a bed in one of 4 bedrooms. Bedroom A was filled by Josh, Anton, Arnold and Apo while Ash, Euan and Alex stayed in bedroom B. Bedroom C contained Jake and Antony while the remaining four (Stewen, Hugo, Francisco and Adrian) took bedroom D.

An incident occurred on the first night when HouseGuest Arnold smoked a joint, causing Euan to sneeze loudly. This gave Stewen an anxiety attack and while he was recovering from it in the bathroom, Josh locked him in, triggering Stewen’s claustrophobia. Later, Stewen escaped and locked Josh in the bathroom while Alex pooped on Josh’s bed.

On day 3, all HouseGuests participated in the "Playing Your Cards Right" Head of Household-competition in which the competitors had to build a house of cards with as many stories as possible. Antony won the competition and became the first Head of Household. He was then given 24 hours to nominate two of his housemates. Later that same night, Ash decided to walk from the House, leaving twelve HouseGuests to compete.

Antony won and became the series' first Head of HouseHold. On day 6, he nominated Adrian and Francisco for eviction. Later that same day Antony, Adrian and Francisco alongside Josh, Stewen and Apo competed in the "Oar-ny for Power" veto competition in which they had to send messages to the host on any full hour for two straight days. The HouseGuest who sent the most messages would win the Power of Veto and could therefore save either of the two nominees if that HouseGuest wished to do so.

On day 8, Adrian win the Power of Veto competition. He chose to save himself and Antony nominated Euan, putting Euan and Francisco up for eviction. Euan however decided to walk to spare Francisco, ending Antony's reign as Head of Household. Alex then moved into bedroom A as his roommates had left.

Week 2
On day 9, the 11 remaining HouseGuests started the HOH competition a night early. HouseGuests were instructed to re-design their Big Brother Key; a jury would then pick the most original and well-looking key. On day 12, it was announced that Arnold had won the competition and became the Head of Household. He then nominated Jake and Alex for eviction. Later, Arnold, Jake and Alex competed alongside Antony, Hugo and Apo in the Veto Scramble competition in which HouseGuests had to solve anagrams as fast as possible. Alex won the competition and pulled himself off the block, with Arnold naming Adrian as the replacement nominee. On day 17, Adrian was evicted in a 6 - 2 vote.

Week 3
That same night, it was announced to the HouseGuests that a twist would be in play for the upcoming week, as now HouseGuests had to each nominate 2 people for eviction, with those who received the most nominations being nominees for the week. No Head of Household was crowned nor was there a Power of Veto competition. Alex and Apo were announced as the nominees on day 22, with Alex being evicted in a 6 - 2 vote on day 24.

Week 4
On day 24, the 9 remaining HouseGuests participated in the Stick To The Plan Head of Household competition. At random moments, HouseGuests would have the chance to claim a number of sticks with a minumum of one and a maximum of nine sticks, with each amount only being given out once every round. The HouseGuest with the 3rd most sticks by the deadline would become the next Head of Household. Stewen was crowned as the new HOH on day 26 and nominated Jake and Apo for eviction. Later that week, Stewen, Jake and Apo alongside Anton, Antony and Hugo participated in a QWOP tournament, with the highest scorer winning the Power of Veto. Anton won the Power of Veto and decided to leave the nominations as they were. On day 31, the vote between Jake and Apo ended in a 3 - 3 tie, while the Head of Household, Stewen, chose to evict Jake.

Week 5
On day 31, right after Jake's eviction, all HouseGuests except for Stewen participated in the Touchy Subjects Head of Household competition. During week 4, the HouseGuests (and Jake, who was still in the House) filled out a 10-question survey, answering each question with the name of one of the HouseGuests. In the competition, it was their job to guess what the majority had answered to each question. Arnold won the competition and earned his second week of power by guessing 7 out of 10 answers correctly. He then nominated Apo and Hugo for eviction. On day 34, the Power of Veto competition started, in which HouseGuests would answer trivia questions about Big Brother and other reality shows. On day 35, before anyone had won the competition, Apo announced that he would walk from the House, saying others deserved to stay more than him. Arnold's reign as Head of Household came to an end, while the next Head of Household competition would start some days later.

Week 6
On day 38, the HouseGuests except for Arnold participated in the Musical Glares Head of Household competition in which they had to identify songs using badly translated snippets from the song lyrics.

Incidents and Controversy
Big Brother often sees incidents and controversy. Below is a list of all reported incidents.

Harassment, Insulting, Bullying
On the first night, HouseGuest Stewen was sent into an anxiety attack after fellow HouseGuest Euan sneezed extremely loud. Josh then locked him in the bathroom, making the attack worse. When Josh let him out, Stewen locked Josh in the bathroom himself. While Josh was in there, Alex pooped in his bed. This all was broadcasted on live feeds in Kaohportia, Björnska, Papavertellus and Arkaystia, amongst others. About 5100 viewers expressed their dismay.

On day 7, Antony indirectly called Euan an "attention whore" after he threatened drama would ensue if he were to be nominated. Anton then joined in on the discussion but was not clearly heard by any of the HouseGuests.

Further controversy
Throughout the entire first week, many HouseGuests were captured on live feeds or sometimes during live, televised broadcasts making sexual remarks.
